ABSTRACT

A FLAME RESISTANT CARPET FABRIC COMPRISING IN COMBINATION A WOVEN BACKING, A POLYESTER FIBER TUFTED INTO THE WOVEN BACKING, AND A COATING SECURING THE POLYESTER FIBER INTO THE WOVEN BACKING. THE COATING CAM COMPRISE A POLYMERIC MATERIAL AND A MATERIAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A FLAME RESISTING AGENT, A FILLER, A PIGMENT, AND MIXTURES THEREOF. IN THIS EMBODIMENT THE FLAME RESISTING AGENT CAN CONTAIN HALOGEN, PHOSPHORUS OR HALOGEN AND PHOSPHORUS. A FLAME REISTANT CARPET FABRIC COMPRISING IN COMBINATION A WOVEN BACKING, A POLYESTER FIBER TUFTED INTO THE WOVEN BACKING, AND A COATING SECURING THE POLYESTER FIBER INTO THE WOVEN BACKING. THE COATING CAN COMPRISE A HALOGEN CONTAINING POLYMERIC MATERIAL. IN THIS EMBODIMENT THE COATING CAN FURTHER COMPRISE A MATERIAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A FLAME RESISTING AGENT, A FILLER. A PIGMENT AND MIXTURES THEREOF; ABD THE FLAME RESISTANT AGENT CAN CONTAIN HALOGEN, PHOSPHORUS OR HALOGEN AND PHOSPHORUS. IN ONE EMBODIMENT THE COATING CAN COMPRISE AN AQUEOUS DISPERSION CONTAINING, BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF THE DISPERSION, ABOUT 50 WEIGHT PRECENT OF A COPOLYMER OF VINYL CHLORIDE AND VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE, 25 WEIGHT PARTS TRIS(2,3-DIBROMOPROPYL) PHOSPHATE, AND 5 WEIGHT PARTS 2-ETHYLHEXYLDIPHENYL PHOSPHATE.

Int. Cl. C09]; 3/ 28 US. Cl. 117-137 No Drawing. 22 Pages Specification A flame resistant carpet fabric comprising in combination a woven backing, a polyester fiber tufted into the woven backing, and a coating securing the polyester fiber into the woven backing. The coating can comprise a polymeric material and a material selected from the group consisting of a flame resisting agent, a filler, a pigment, and mixtures thereof. In this embodiment the flame resisting agent can contain halogen, phosphorus or halogen and phosphorus.

A flame resistant carpet fabric comprising in combination a woven backing, a polyester fiber tufted into the woven backing, and a coating securing the polyester fiber into the woven backing. The coating can comprise a halogen containing polymeric material. In this embodiment the coating can further comprise a material selected from the group consisting of a flame resisting agent, a filler, a pigment and mixtures thereof; and the flame resistant agent can contain halogen, phosphorus or halogen and phosphorus. In one embodiment the coating can comprise an aqueous dispersion containing, based on the weight of the dispersion, about 50 weight percent of a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride, 25 weight parts tris(2,3-dibromopropy1) phosphate, and 5 Weight parts 2-ethylhexyldiphenyl phosphate.
